FLT ATTENDANT RPT; B757; DFW-YVR; REGARDING PAX THAT WAS TAKEN OFF PLANE DUE TO INTOXICATION.

Narrative

I WAS NOT MUCH INVOLVED IN THIS SIT; BUT HERE ARE THE DETAILS AS BEST AS I RECALL. I WAS FLT ATTENDANT #1 ON A B757. DURING BOARDING; I WAS SETTING UP THE FIRST CLASS GALLEY. ABOUT 5 MINS BEFORE DEP; FLT ATTENDANT #2 CALLED FROM THE AFT GALLEY AND SAID; 'THERE'S A GUY BACK HERE ABOUT TO HAVE A COW; BECAUSE I WON'T SERVE HIM A DRINK. I CAN SMELL ALCOHOL ON HIM. AND I DON'T THINK I WANT TO GO ON A 3 HR FLT WITH HIM IF HE CAN'T WAIT TILL AFTER TKOF FOR A DRINK.' I RELAYED THE MESSAGE TO THE CAPT IN THE COCKPIT; WHO CALLED FOR ATTENDANT #2. AS THEY TALKED; I STEPPED BACK INTO THE GALLEY AND CONTINUED SETTING UP. ABOUT 1 MIN LATER; THE CAPT STEPPED INTO THE ENTRY AREA AND SAID TO ONE OF THE FLT ATTENDANTS; 'TELL HIM TO COME UP HERE AND TALK TO ME. I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK THERE -- IT MIGHT EMBARRASS HIM.' A FEW MINS LATER; A MAN STEPPED INTO THE GALLEY LOOKING FOR THE CAPT. I POINTED OUT THE CAPT WHO WAS STANDING ON THE JETBRIDGE. THEY BEGAN TALKING; BUT I DID NOT HEAR WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. EVERY NOW AND THEN; THEY RAISED THEIR VOICES; BUT I STILL COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. DURING THIS TIME; THE GATE AGENT STEPPED ON THE PLANE AND SAID; 'I REMEMBER THAT GUY. HE GAVE ME A HARD TIME WHEN I CHKED HIM IN; BUT I WAS TOO BUSY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.' EVENTUALLY; A MAN IN A SUIT AND 2 POLICEMEN SHOWED UP AND BEGAN TALKING WITH THE PAX. THE CAPT STEPPED BACK ON THE PLANE AND WE DEPARTED.
